Former Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra (L) leaves the Supreme Court after a verdict in the case regarding her father Thaksin Shinawatra’s prolonged hospital stay to avoid a prison sentence in Bangkok, Thailand, 09 September 2025. Thailand’s Supreme Court has ordered former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to return to prison to serve one more year of a past conviction. The court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions ruled that Thaksin’s six-month stay in a police hospital in 2023, while serving a reduced sentence for abuse of power and conflict of interest, cannot be counted toward his jail term.
